Aortic valve disease: treatment and patient selection
21 Nov 2021 – From PCR London Valves 2021
Let's talk about severe asymptomatic aortic stenosis: what are the surgical standpoint and recent data from surgical literature? How to assess these patients? How to analyze CT? What do the newly published VHD Guidelines say? What is the place of MRI in these patients? So many questions...
TAVI in bicuspid aortic valves: optimal technique and procedural refinement
21 Nov 2021 – From PCR London Valves 2021
Framed around a "live-in-a-box" case performed in Toulouse, the core of this session will be on procedural technique: how do you best perform a TAVI to get optimal outcomes in bicuspid anatomy? It will also focus on preprocedural planning, and in particular CT image analysis, and detail...
Aortic stenosis in the younger patient: procedural complications and lifetime management
21 Nov 2021 – From PCR London Valves 2021
Biological, surgical valves and TAVIs are being implanted in younger and younger patients. Since these procedures must be planned in the best possible way to minimize future complications, and because the lifetime management of these patients must be thought of, watch this session to get very useful...
SURTAVI: five-year results from a randomized trial of TAVR vs. SAVR in patients at intermediate surgical risk
07 Nov 2021
Although TAVI is an accepted alternative to surgery in patients with severe aortic stenosis who are at high surgical risk, less is known about long-term comparative outcomes among patients with aortic stenosis who are at intermediate surgical risk. P. Redaelli & M. Pighi review the SURTAVI trial...

CHOICE-CLOSURE: a randomized trial of plug-based versus suture-based large-bore vascular closure
06 Nov 2021
TCT 2021: Radoslaw Parma reviews the CHOICE-CLOSURE multicentre, randomized, controlled, open-label clinical trial presented by Mohamed Abdel-Wahab. The study compared outcomes of percutaneous femoral artery closure using a plug-based and a primary suture-based strategy in patients undergoing TAVI.

ACTIVATION (percutAneous Coronary inTervention prIor to transcatheter aortic VAlve implantaTION): a randomized clinical trial
19 Oct 2021
In conducting the ACTIVATION trial, Redwood and colleagues seek to complement the existing literature with high-level evidence on whether percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) prior to TAVR is non-inferior to conservative (no PCI) management.

PCR TV: Valve selection considerations for the Heart Team
11 Oct 2021
Which valve for which patient? The question is no longer just whether to choose a balloon-expandable or a self-expanding valve: low-risk indications, increasing number of TAVI procedures, and growing complexity of patients are leading the TAVI community to become more prescriptive and to take time to...
Cases on valvular disease
08 Oct 2021 – From AICT AsiaPCR 2021
Watch this session to discover various interesting cases on valvular disease, such as the implantation of a transcatheter aortic VIV for an acute AR in prior bio Bentall operation, the percutaneous pulmonic balloon valvuloplasty in a carcinoid pulmonic stenosis, as well as the percutaneous valve-in-valve in the...
Abstracts on TAVI
08 Oct 2021 – From AICT AsiaPCR 2021
Watch this session to discover a selection of abstracts on TAVI, and learn more about the operator preference and determinants of size when additional intermediate-size aortic THVs available, the comparative quantitative aortographic assessment of regurgitation in six self-expanding valves, as well as the chronic hemodynamic performance...
